trying out different yoga spots to help regain flexibility as well as lengthen muscle and ease joint/connective tissue tenderness. one class was too fukking crowded, it said it was good for beginners but she didn't even check to see if she had new students, if i wanted to be in a free for all class with next to no guidance, i'd take the wack classes at 24 hour fitness, the nerve of them being a dedicated yoga studio, charging $25/class for the same poor class experience as you'd get at a big box gym. and fukk that class was so white...like not young "i have black friends" white, the type of white you just feel uncomfortable around all that said, i did enjoy the actual workout, just not a good class experience or a place i felt comfortable at

anyway, will be trying a new place this weekend. saw way more people of color in their photos lol

Strengthen your core, stretch your hamstrings. .. often.
(Tight hammies are a big culprit of low back pain)

there's a ton of yoga poses on YouTube if you decide to go that route.

Can feel myself falling out of routine.

fukking coworkers keep ruining/stopping my lunch workout

I know when these Rock Deltas come in though

@Sassy I hated plain water too until I realizes all water is NOT created equal.

All I Drink Is Essentia

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

Anyone got a spin bike at home or do it alone at the gym? I want to get one, but I think it's the group dynamic that really pushes me in spin class (and that I enjoy - I really hate that group workouts/classes are my fave, it keeps me from working out at home) , don't know I'd go as hard solo.

I have an actual bike on rollers. You def won't go as hard. I built a table for a fan and my laptop and I just chill.

 

[The ADD]

i really don't get people who dont like water...and i dont understand the need to sweeten it. it, along with walking more, is literally the easiest, simplest thing to integrate into maintaining/improving health.

one, simply challenge yourself to drink water - set a recurring alarm, 10oz every 2 hours/ (5 oz every hour - basically one big gulp of water) - that's 80oz a day for the 16 hours most people are awake. once you train yourself to drink water you'll come to always drink/desire it.

two, why not take a natural (chemical free approach) such as drinking tea and/or making big jugs of iced tea (sugar free)

three, why not look into an infuser water bottle (put citrus, berries, veggies, herbs, whatever in it and flavor your water that way)

lastly, why not look into unsweetened carbonated water or still waters - hint water makes a ton of flavors in still or sparkling and i love la croix sparkling water.

edit: or chew gum while drinking water and let the minty taste wash down

Regular water sucks for some reason once it gets cold. That makes no sense but

I start drinking La Croix and propel powder as it gets colder.
